"Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.....But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment." (Matthew 22:9 &11)
You are invited. Have you responded? RSVP is from a French phrase which literally means, "Respond if you please." I "please!"----- and have responded, and find it "pleasing" to keep responding. Blessed invitation! But I always keep in mind that if I am going to "the wedding," it is not because I am a "good" person, pray, go to church services, give to the poor, do mission work. I am going because I have been invited. And what a wedding this is. The invitation, festivities, and accommodations have been paid for by the Groom's, Family------ in the Blood of Jesus, the death of Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus, and the continual intercession of Jesus.
The invitation in our text reveals that all humanity is invited to the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb." But there is a dress code. William Mote, 1797-1874, perhaps best described the dress code for "the wedding:"
"When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne"
Garmented in Jesus and "the righteous of God through faith in Jesus Christ"----------------------- a very fine "wedding garment," indeed.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You that You have provide me with the acceptable "wedding garment." Amen.
